QGP22100TP - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

QGP22100TP - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QGP22100TP is a 100-amp, 2-pole breaker built for jobs that require serious fault protection without overthinking it. It uses a thermal magnetic trip, so it reacts to both overloads and short circuits the way you’d expect—nothing fancy, just reliable protection that does its job when something goes wrong. With a 65 kA rating at 240 VAC, this breaker is designed for higher-fault environments, not light-duty applications. It’s the kind of unit you’d use in commercial panels or heavier electrical systems where lower-rated breakers just don’t cut it. Connection-wise, it’s practical. You’ve got 1/4-20” studs on the line side and lug terminals on the load side, which makes installs straightforward if you’ve worked with this style before. The trip unit isn’t interchangeable, so once it’s in, it stays consistent—no adjustments, no surprises. It’s also compact enough to fit into standard setups without fighting for space, which matters more than most people admit when you’re inside a crowded panel.

Material Compliance and Certifications

Built with standard materials used in modern power distribution equipment. Designed to meet typical electrical safety expectations for commercial and industrial applications where dependable circuit protection is required.

Where It Works Best

This breaker makes the most sense in commercial panels, industrial equipment, and high-demand circuits. Think HVAC units, machinery, or any setup where a strong interrupting rating matters, and you don’t want to deal with nuisance issues or weak protection.
